Pediatric Emergency

Paediatric emergency care treats sick and injured children in the emergency room. Children can deteriorate quickly, and their care differs from adults in dosing and equipment.

Go to the emergency room for breathing difficulty, fever in a baby under three months, a seizure, severe dehydration, head injury with vomiting, or when a child is hard to wake.
